Real men drive manuals... the end.
Automatics have their place in the world, for example a manual Merc S500 would be idiotic.
DSG/ SMG/ Flappy Paddle/ PDK boxes have their place too… it’s called a race car. Where absolute speed is the be all and end all of everything.
But when it comes to sportscars; driving for pleasure… it has to be a manual. The extra involvement you get from a slick shifting manual, trying to nail the perfect shift, heel-and-toe braking into corners and nailing the perfect launch through clutch control rather than a computer chip is what makes you a real driver. Cars shouldn’t drive themselves if you want to call yourself a driver.

Seriously you can also have fun in a auto first of all when you don’t have a choice anymore this hate about only manual drivers are really drivers is annoying as hell !
I don’t have a car, therefore I don’t drive a manual. Does that mean I am not a man? I don’t know
This has gone to far. Like I’m less of a man for not driving manual really? Are we back to being high schoolers and insulting people for not being on the football team?
My boyfriend doesn’t have a car in general. ;-;
Atleast he’s trying to get a manual RX-8 though!
